Last fall, Rustam Minnikhanov, the President of the RT, announced the start of reconstruction of the NCC “Kazan” building to accommodate it in the future of the National Library of the RT. “The library is also a cultural center. The concept of space organization is now incorporated in the project of placing the national library at the NCC site.

The concept is more focused on the space for communications and capitalization”, I.

The building of the former city magistrate is an object of cultural heritage. </p> <p> “The collection will organically fit into the building of the former city magistrate. The project should be modified in such a way that it can fully reflect the artifacts in this collection and the historical mission that was laid during the creation of the museum”, noted the minister of Culture of the RT. </p> <p> The former building of the National Library of the RT (Ushkov’s Mansion on Kremlevskaya Street) will have to be restored, after which it will remain at the disposal of the library.
